With SEARS filing for bankruptcy how will that affect the WoO sponsorship?

Stanley, Black and Decker bought Craftsman from Sears in 2017 so no affect at all. Sears maintains the right to manufacture and sell tools using existing supply channels under the Craftsman name for 15 years after the deal closed.
I bet 95% of people think Sears still owns it.

I think this is the last year of it anyway. Will be interesting to see what if any title sponsor the series has in 2019.

Wouldn't be shocked if NOS stepped up... I think they have set themselves up for it.

NOS is Nitrous Oxide System, only in liquid form. They've canned it so you can have extra energy just like Brian O Conner.

OK, that sounds plausible, but are you sure you're not just making that up to see if I'd believe it?

There will always be a title sponsor from now on. The only factor is going to be how much that sponsorship is worth each year. For example, NASCAR's top series will always have a title sponsor. It just keeps decreasing in value every season. For example, Sprint paid Nascar between $50-75 million per season. Monster pays Nascar $20 million.
I don't know if it's been made public what the WoO sponsorship is worth, but I'd be curious to know if it's gone up or down. ???
Nascar's just keeps decreasing from year to year and Monster is likely done after 2019.

If you read a post above, it says that Sears doesn't own Craftsman but still manufaterures and sells them.

I wouldn't bet on the "always" and "from now on". Historically, it's been rags, to riches, to rags ......

The way NASCAR is going in a couple of years some Mom & Pop bait shop in Morro Bay will probably be the Cup sponsor.

That would make sense,it seems that WoO do like to weasel their way into the corporate sponsorships that have been on some WoO teams cars,they've done it quite a few times now! Lmfao

Is it bad now that every WoO race I attend I expect a free NOS? I know that won't always be the case but I usually look forward to getting one each time. Nice little perk and works well as far as marketing goes.

Thanks for the correction. Good point.
If a zeppelin landed on the France family vacation home and a new, fresh, sober face of Nascar emerged, it could definitely be turned around. I would start by issuing severence packages to anyone in the booth who says "used ta could" or "fixin' to wreck" or "gaggle of cars"
